Why Travelers Love The Swimming
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I finally had the opportunity to dine here after all the talks I had heard about it. My son and I had lunch. The food was ok (maybe this was due to my choice of food). The service was very good, and the waiters were attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and nice, a little noisy but low enough that you could engage in a conversation. Although I did not take a photo of our drinks and appetizer, they were both excellent! The appetizer, which was conch fritters, was delectable! This place was great overall! GREAT food, great atmosphere and wonderful service from the bartenders last night. I couldn’t have made it better if I tried. We say at the bar and had drinks. The bartender was on top of everyone and if we needed a drink - he was on it right away. We ordered off the late night menu which had a wide variety for that late! The food - whew! I devoured the wings like it was my last meal. The blue cheese was great. I got the honey buffalo wings. They may be the best wings I’ve ever had. Someone else in our group got the quesadilla and another got the burger. Both said their food was Devine. Literal heaven especially after a drunken night losing all your money in the casino 😅 it was the feel good we needed before leaving. Food is very good here but be warned prices are high and it is busy with not enough people to provide decent service. We ate at the bar so we did not have to wait over an hour for a table at 9 pm at night. Baha Mar is a beautiful hotel with amazing pools, flowers and landscaping but it is located a good ways away from downtown Nassau and other local restaurants and attractions.

Nice pub to grab a burger or ribs or wings. On three trips the food has been average and service a little less so. Pretty much standard for an island who does not understand service in general. So limit your expectations. Food is also over priced for the quality Flatbreads were a safe bet to order as was cheese board.

We had a great time. It got off to a rocky start because there was a mix-up with our reservation. We got our food before the drinks but the drinks came right after. We were tired so we didn't cut the cake we brought but they sang happy birthday to the guest of honor. The food was wonderful and didn't take long to prepare. The atmosphere was relaxed and our server Leo was friendly. This place is good for couples and groups. Will go again but will double-check the reservation. I ordered a spinach artichoke dip to go that I never received. It wasn't even on the receipt. I guess he forgot it🤷🏽♀️
